Now in its 15th year, Dubai International Horse Fair (DIHF) has established itself as the Middle East’s thoroughbred event for equestrian industry professionals as well as horse lovers alike.

It is a unique platform for suppliers of equestrian equipment, products and services to meet with the most successful and influential owners, breeders, stables, veterinarians and clubs.

Last year, more than 10,000 buyers, professionals, breeders and enthusiasts attended, widening their global networks through 200 companies taking part from over 25 countries. International exhibitor participation has grown significantly given the demand for the latest equine technologies and innovation.

It is held alongside The Dubai International Arabian Horse Championship, the world’s most prestigious competition showcasing the beauty, agility and heritage of purebred Arabian horses. It also features a horse auction, with over 120 pureblood Arabian horse breeds available for viewing, bidding and buying by the public.

Strongly-rooted in the region’s equestrian traditions – in riding, breeding and racing – as well as its present-day Epsom Derby-winning successes, the fair is an unmissable event for both industry professionals as well as leisure riders to enjoy.
